HAMMER TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 24, 1919. Serial No. 312,915.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN BORYK, a citizen of Russia, residing at Ansonia, county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HammerToys, of which the specification.

This invention has for its object the provision of a toy adapted to produce a considerable volume of" sound in a novel manner, the toy being of rugged construction adapted to withstand rough usage without deterioration.

A further object is to provide a toy particularly pleasing to boys, and those who desire to make noise, the operation being entirely mechanical and easily actuated.

These objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a hammer toy made in accordance with the invention, and

Fig. 2 is a side elevational View of the same.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 10 indicates a platform or base on which the superstructure is built, the platform being substantially rectangular and preferably comprised of wood.

Arranged at one end thereof is a raised on the base.

Mounted rotatably near their upper end, is a rectangular bar 14, one end. 15 of which extends outwardly and has fixed upon it a crank arm 16 provided with an operating handle 17 by which the bar may be rotated. 1

Passing through the bar 14,- at spaced intervals, are strips 18, disposed at right anles one to the other and extending uniormly outward.

Between the upper portions of the standwhich they may be retracted,

in the standards 12,-

ards 13 is a cylindrical bar 19, pivoted at its ends on wires 20, formed with eyes by and loosely journaled on the cylindrical bar 19 are a pair of lever arms 21, having hammer-like heads 22 fixed at their outer, longer ends, while their shorter ends 23 project rearwardly so that contact is made with them by the strips 18 as they are rotated by turning the handle 17 in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2.

As the strips 18 are disposed at right angles one to the other the bars 21 will be alternately raised when, the short ends 23 are correspondingly depressed, causing the hammers 22 to rise and fall in alternate relation, striking upon the anvil 11 and producing sounds the volume of which may be regulated to a certain extent by the rapidity of movement imparted to the handle, and by the material and structure of the anvil element.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

In a toy of the class described, the combination with a rigid base, of a block representing an anvil secured at one end thereof, two pairs of standards fixed upon the side edges of said base near its opposite end, a bar rotatably mounted in one pair of said standards, a crank for manually rotating Patented Mar. 9, 1920.

said bar, flat projections extending oppositely and alternatingly from said bar, said projections being in pairs arranged at right angles one to the other, a spindle mounted in the other pair of said standards, levers pivoted on said spindle intermediate their ends, the shorter ends of said levers being arranged to be alternately engaged by said projections when said crank is rotated and a pair of hammer heads carried at the longer ends of said levers adapted to make contact with said block, said hammers being raised by contact of said projections with the short ends of said levers.

In testimony whereof'I have alfixed my signature.
